I was on the cruise previous, which was 100 or so short of capacity. I was told that a promo on kids sailing free was done and going by the vast amount onboard it appeared successful. There was also a large contingent of Uni students. Strangely only 121 D's and 55 D+s on board. Maybe with so many newbies cruising from Brissy, Royal is counting on last minute dropouts, if so not a good practice.
